SUMMARY:DWOW: QuAC and Houston Poetry Festival
DESCRIPTION:QuAC: A Screening and Discussion with Sixto Wagan and Chuck Jackson \nQuAC: Queer Artist Collective performed many times on DiverseWorks’ stage. QuAC was a multi-ethnic performance group of twenty-something men and women charged to “fearlessly be themselves.” Growing out of New York’s Gay and Lesbian Community Center’s Youth Enrichment series and Mary Ellen Strom’s School’s Out — The Naming Project\, QuAC acted as a community building endeavor for not only the artists themselves\, but for DiverseWorks as an organization. QuAC brought a diverse group of individuals from the LGBT community together in order to build self-esteem and and encourage self-reflection through the process of creative writing\, movement\, and video. \nHouston Poetry Fest Satellite Readings by Brother Said\, Savannah Blue\, and Equality \nThe Houston Poetry Fest has been celebrating the crafted word in Houston since 1985. The main event will be held at the University of Houston-Downtown on October 11-13 and will include readings by guest poets and juried winners of the Fest’s popular anthology competition as well as a new feature: Saturday morning workshops on writing poetry and getting published by several top Houston poets and writers. Workshops will be held at the Hardy & Nance Studios at 902 Hardy Street. \nFor many years\, the Fest has included the off-site event Poetry Out of Bounds in Clear Lake. However\, this year HPF is presenting a series of Satellite Readings at popular poetry venues around town\, to represent Houston’s dynamic Spoken Word community. Each reading will be hosted by a recognized poetry organization to introduce new audiences to Houston’s rich and growing poetry scene. \nSponsored in part by Saint Arnold Brewing Company

SUMMARY:DWOW: Karen Finley
DESCRIPTION:Artist Karen Finley will give a dramatic reading of four selected excerpts from “We Keep Our Victims Ready”\, first performed at DiverseWorks over two evenings in October 1989. About the oppressed in contemporary America\, “We Keep Our Victims Ready” is a confrontational and powerful work of art that Finley has reframed in the context of current social and political issues: war\, reproductive rights\, freedom of expression\, and identity. \nFinley’s reading will be followed by a discussion and Q & A moderated by DiverseWorks Assistant Curator Rachel Cook and UH Visiting Assistant Professor of Art Jessica Santone. This event is free. \nKaren Finley is a New York-based artist whose raw and transgressive performances have long provoked controversy and debate. Finley was one of four artists whose NEA grant applications were vetoed due to content considered “indecent.” Finley and the other three artists sued for reinstatement and won the case in 1993 in the ninth circuit court in Los Angeles. In May 2013\, Finley’s performance and installation\, Sext Me if You Can\, was presented as part of NEA 4 in Residence at the New Museum in New York. For this interactive performance installation\, Finley created a limited edition of paintings inspired by “sexts” that she received from participating patrons. Other current projects include “Unicorn in Red” (an ongoing series of performances in which Finley receives automatic messages from those departed and turns those messages into artworks)\, and Open Heart (a public memorial for children killed during the Holocaust created in collaboration with survivors\, children\, and locals). Finley is a professor at Tisch School of the Arts at New York University in the department of Art and Public Policy. \nPresented in partnership with the University of Houston’s School of Art and Visiting Assistant Professor Jessica Santone.
